"90 children from the orphanage in Zhytomyr have now landed in Israel. I was excited to receive them and told them - you are safe now, you have reached a safe shore.
As I stood next to Gilat at Ben Gurion Airport, I watched the children enter the gate. I saw with their own eyes the hardships they went through.
The life they know has changed in an instant. For a week and a half now, they have been moving on the roads, fleeing battles and shelling, without parents, but with the wonderful and dedicated Chabad emissaries who accompany them here.
Thank you to the Chabad emissaries and all those involved in the sacred work of saving lives - the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Absorption, the Friendship Foundation and the Jewish Agency.
"Every one who saves one soul is as if he had saved the whole world."
Proud of you. In all of you."
